This is a continuous WIP since details may change at any time. A huge thank you to Imthedci for testing and recording the information below!

Eastern Kingdoms (Alliance) 1st-Tier Trainers=======================================Upon leveling a pet up to level 3, you will be automatically given a quest to talk to Audrey Burnhep. This will allow you to start upon the questline. Defeating each trainer (and turning in their quest) rewards you with XP?, cash, and a Sack of Pet Supplies.

Defeating Bill Buckler (and turning in his quest) will give you a quest to return to Audrey Burnhep. You will then be able to take the Battle Pet Trainers: Eastern Kingdoms and Battle Pet Trainers: Kalimdor quests.

Kalimdor (Horde) 1st-Tier Trainers==============================Upon leveling a pet up to level 3, you will be automatically given a quest to talk to Varzok. This will allow you to start upon the questline. Defeating each trainer (and turning in their quest) rewards you with XP?, cash, and a Sack of Pet Supplies.

Defeating Cassandra Kaboom (and turning in her quest) will give you a quest to return to Varzok. You will then be able to take the Battle Pet Trainers: Eastern Kingdoms and Battle Pet Trainers: Kalimdor quests.

Battle Pet Trainers: Eastern Kingdoms=================================All of the following trainers have Rare quality pets. Defeating all 5 of them (and turning in the quest) will get you a reward of gold and a Sack of Pet Supplies. Each time you defeat one of them, you will get the Pet Recovery debuff, which will not allow you to battle any other Master Pet Tamers until the 5 min. (or you die) duration wears off. This does not appear to stop you from being able to battle a Grand Master.

Defeating the Grand Master will get you a reward of gold and a Sack of Pet Supplies. It will also open daily quests for the Eastern Kingdom (well, just the 2nd-tier masters and the grand master). Additionally, you can get "Battle Pet Trainers: Outlands" from Audrey Burnhep / Varzok.

Battle Pet Trainers: Kalimdor=========================All of the following trainers have Rare quality pets. Defeating all 5 of them (and turning in the quest) will get you a reward of gold and a Sack of Pet Supplies. Each time you defeat one of them, you will get the Pet Recovery debuff, which will not allow you to battle any other Master Pet Tamers until the 5 min. (or you die) duration wears off. This does not appear to stop you from being able to battle a Grand Master.

can we have any info on the <title here> text to look for when searching for the master trainers? or doesn't anyone know about them yet? I've been looking around a few zones i think could have the master trainers/tamers in them, no luck yet but hopefully the new patch adds them into the game.

Keep in mind that these master trainers/tamers will need to be accessible to both horde and alliance players and the npc will most likely be at a neutral hub like booty bay.

Question that will need to be answered in the future: Do Trainers = Tamers? Or are they two separate classes of pet battles NPCs?

For example a trainer simply teaches you the ability, while a tamer can be "dueled" and offer a possible reward/achievement? Or does interacting with either yield the same option of training pet battles and dueling the NPC?

There's also the question about the difference between a normal Trainer/Tamer and a "Master Trainer/Tamer".

I think most of the NPCs are still NYI, so we might have to wait a bit for more info.

master trainers and tamers are meant to be npcs will battle, i don't think pet battle trainers do anything but teach the abilities we use to battle/track pets.

^ those are all npc you need to defeat in pet battles for those achievements, so you can see there's one trainer which i believe is like an endboss for that zone and 3 tamers which will probably be easier to defeat.

Wowhead has a quest listed for Julia Stevens which says she's just over the bridge in Westfall. I'll have to take a look the next time I'm on.

UPDATE: Yep, she's there. A little girl in a pink dress with two snakes. There are some phasing problems, but I eventually got her to stay where she was. She challenged me to a pet battle, but I got the "You must have the Pet Battler ability" error...

After the latest patch, battles are working again. So I managed to defeat her, although it was close, her snakes are fast...
